Magical properties are applied as temporary effects when item is equipped or applied by the onhit scripts.

Variables on items:

Basic materials are as below:

Price: the base price is modified by this multiple.
wt: weight modifier
mod: the bonus or penalty from item type
DC: the difficulty level modifier for crafting skill to use this type of material
min price/lb: the minimum price / pound of the given material. Note that this only affects the parts of the items made of this material.

A masterwork item of any of those is +1 more to hit and .2 weight less, they cost twice the normal price.

Enchanted items require the enchanter to start with masterwork item.

All clothing (clothes, armor, helmets, hats, gloves, shoes, boots, cloaks and so on) are considered average thickness unless a integer variable “Heat” is set.

Suggested Heat variable levels

Availability of magic items is very low, normally no shops have any magic items and very few creatures have those too. (see loot system and enemy strengths)

Each magic or nonmagic item that has properties has noitem properties, but as string variable “Prop” on the item.

The first character of the string indicates the type of item:

The variable is a comma separated list of properties.
When examining, equipping or unequipping the item the list is checked for matching entries.
Each part consists of a First letter indicating type of action when do what.

The letter is one of following:

Note: Any properties are on aquire, unaquire, equip and unequip, but equip and unequip always automatically run aquire too.
Note: The processing of onhit properties starts with first one and ends when a non-onhit property is found to save time. Thus onhit properties must be first ones in the list.
Note: Beginning of rest also fires unequips, end of rest also fires equips. not implemented.

Action can be many things. The action is indicated by second letter of the part.

A preliminary list:

*) done allready

The action “D” or damage rest of entry definint type of damage and ammount. The third letter is the damage type:

After that comes the string:
“(#1)D(#2)+(#3)” or “(#1)D(#2)” or “(#3)” with (#1),(#2) and (#3) being numbers. Will then roll #1 number of #2 sided dice and add #3

The dice available are: d4,d6,d8,d10,d12,d20,d100

thus: “2d6+2” would roll 2 6 sided dice and add 2 to result. “3” would cause 3 damage “30d4” would roll 30 4 sided dice.

The rest of the string part is: “(Visual effect number)!(Duration)”. or “(Visual effect name)!(Duration)”

Numbers use nwn1 style effect numbers, name is for nwn2 style effect flags.

For permanent effect duration should be “P” for Instant “I” for temporary a floating point number.

“onhit” and “power” apply the effect to target, other uses to the user/equiper.

thus with NWN numbers: “19!I” Fires the dispell visual effect. and “321!34.4” causes pixie dust visual effect for 34.4 seconds

The rest of the string part is: “(Light intensity)!(Light color)!(Duration)”.

For permanent effect duration should be “P” for temporary a floating point number.

the object will shine with light of intensity 1-4 with the following colors:

Makes the item undroppable. The rest of the string part is: “(Type)!(Level)”.

Level is the level against what to try the removal. The base probability is 50% for own level and +/-5% for each level difference. Type is:

If you have multiple No drop properties, they are considered to be OR:ed, that is any one of the valid removal methods given will work. Thus an item with magic and curse no drop effects can be removed after successfull dispell or remove curse.

Automatically equips the item in right slot when given action occurs. Weapons are equipped in right hand and rings in right hand unless free left hand slot only.

Adds the feat given as feat number pf IP_CONST_FEAT_* as rest of string.

Add Cast spell property to the item. format S(type)(number) where the number is the number of the spell and the type is one of below:

some typical spell values:

you can check the rest from iprp_spells.2da

Unique powers scripted in the module. Use ; between parameters.

Examples:
“=GSS335,PUEAT;1” (unique power on use of “unique power self only”: eat with bonus 1).
“!GSU335,PUHERB;1” (unique power on use of “unique power self only”: use herb number 1).

# is a number parameter.
$ is a string parameter.

SHOVEL you need to specify what action is done at a location or waypoint by making a script that will fire. In the area properties of the area place strings “shovel#” statring with “shovel1” pointing to the scripts to run. For each either place a corresponding placeable or waypoint and put the tag of it as “shovelwp#” string variable in the area. Alternatively you can set the location variable “shovelloc#” to spcify the location. When a player uses the shovel within 5 meters of the location the script is fired.
